ABSTRACT
This book offers specific evidence-based behavioral treatment plans for the most commonly observed symptoms seen in medical and clinical settings. It will address the needs of therapists who work in fast-paced clinics and are often mandated to provide time-limited and effective treatment. Intended for early career clinicians as well as experienced psychotherapists, clear goal-directed protocols are outlined in a specific manner to assist the clinician in treating frequently reported pain complaints, somatic illnesses, anxiety, sleep difficulties, panic, agitation, anger management, and more. A brief review of symptoms is followed by specific cognitive behavioral treatment strategies, quantitative treatment tracking tools, and methods to address obstacles and facilitate progress. This clinician-friendly manual will guide research based interventions and documentation needs, while also showing how the intervention can best be used to avoid common pitfalls in treatment.
